Interesting Vintage Rollerized Roller Cam Crower Imperial
I recently bought a 66 Corvette 427/425HP engine from a member. He found the engine in a 1968 Camaro show/drag car that was found in a storage locker that was sold due to back rent. The car had very high end components for the period. The engine had a heavily modified 427 crank, Howard aluminum rods, a tunnel ram with dual dominators, etc. It also had this cool Crower roller cam. I had never seen a cam like this before and thought I would share. The cam bearing journals are actually rollerized. The bearing journals have been turned down to a small diameter and 2 cast shells hold the needle bearings in place. A quick Google search for Crower Imperial cam showed that these were the high end option for a roller cam back in the day. Anyway, I just thought I would share.
